Jacketed hose assemblies are designed to maintain the temperature of the fluid being transferred within the internal hose. These assemblies are typically used with steam, hot oil, or hot water to raise the temperature of the internal fluid. Conversely, cold products like liquid helium or nitrogen can be used to lower the temperature of the fluid inside the hose. The external jacket provides a thermal barrier to regulate the fluid's temperature during transportation.
The jacketed hose assembly is equipped with inlet and outlet swivel flanges, which may be threaded, allowing flexibility in installation. The length of the hose assembly can vary depending on the amount of heat transfer required.
These hoses are especially beneficial for transferring high-density fluids, such as bitumen, pre-polymers, hot melts, and other temperature-sensitive materials. The jacketed construction ensures the fluid maintains the desired temperature, preventing freezing or overheating, and providing safe and efficient transport in various industrial applications.
